Lil’ Kim is more than a Lil’ Mad
OH girls! I wonder how much more of a hoochie they made Lil Kim into. She’s kind of peeved off at the way she was portrayed in the new Biggie Smalls biopic Notorious. The movie, which is about the life of The Notorious B.I.G. (aka Biggie Smalls, aka Christopher Wallace) comes out this weekend and Lil’ Kim doesn’t like how the film makers made her look.
Kim’s people released the following statement on her behalf:
“The film studio and producers involved were more concerned about painting me as a ‘character’ to create a more interesting story line instead of a person with talent, self-respect and who was able to achieve her own career success through hard work… Even though my relationship with Big was at times very difficult and complicated (as with most relationships we have all experienced at one time or another), it was also genuine and built on great admiration and love for each other. Regardless of the many lies in the movie and false portrayal of me to help carry a story line through, I will still continue to carry his legacy through my hard work and music.”
At the flick’s NY premiere, the screenwriter said he understands why Lil Kim might not like the film, but added “I think that Naturi (Naughton) did a great job playing Kim. I think people are going to be a lot more sympathetic towards (Lil Kim) after seeing the movie.”
Wayne Barrow — Biggie’s former manager and a producer on the movie — put the smack down on Kim’s attitude.
“Our job as producers … was to deliver for three individuals. That’s his mom and his two children. Everybody else: Stand in line, buy a ticket and enjoy the show.”
Oh looks like someone is being beaten with the magic stick. Still, we may elect to see Slumdog Millionaire over this one this weekend.
